I'm not really sure how delaying all notifications would affect SMS and programs that pop them up. Popups are known to cause conflicts with NoLED, and I'm not sure delaying will solve all of them.

Were you chatting using the facebook app ? if so, yes, NoLED will let you know when you have notifications for both chat and notif events on facebook. They'll fall under one icon though, the default facebook app icon.

Here how it works, my program monitors the status (notification) bar of Android. If any app modifies it in any shape or form, it checks to see whether you have that app in the list under "Monitored Apps". If it exists, then it fires a notification with the program's corresponding icon.

With some system apps, this might be a little tricky. Because the program that modifies the status bar is sometimes not the same as the one you interact with. take for example the app "Talk". While you may fire that app to chit chat, the actual program that writes notifications to the status bar is "Google Service Framework". Checking that will work with "All other" and gtalk messages.

This shouldn't be an issue with 3rd party apps though, because they usually don't use the system to fire up events on the notification bar.

The test screen is currently broken due to that new addition. It should show a generic android icon for "All other", but not an icon for each app you checked under "Monitored Apps".
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I forgot to mention that pending notifications (in the queue to be fired) are dismissed only if you unlock your phone's lock screen. However, if you dismiss sms notifications using popups and not unlock your screen, the sms notification will still be in the queue and will fire up according to schedule.
[Android Apps and Games] sagech:
Hey madmack, thanks for the reply!

I made a video to show the touch screen issue:

youtube.com/watch?v=9T1kOpWyywI

I've reinstalled the app and it still does this. Enabling and disabling the touch screen option also doesn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
thanks for the video. its so strange how you get this even though i've set this activity as a NO_TOUCH activity in the window parameter. It could be a new requirement in Gingerbread.

anyways, I've added some extra measures to handle touch events in these activities. Can you please try 4.0.12b and report back on whether that problem is fixed or not ?
[Android Apps and Games] piasekas:
First, thanks for this wonderful and very needed app.

Not sure if it was already reported, but time display fixes are not working for me on SGS (JPY). In particular:

* Still shows 0:0 in settings, when I select 12:00AM

* For time selection I see AM/PM format, but in global setting I have set 24 format (Locale: Lithuania).

Version 4.0.12b

Removed 4.0.6b package before installing 4.0.12b. Anything else had to be done before upgrading?

Let me know if you need some additional details.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
the am/pm fix is not for the settings menu, its for the "show time" toggle. now when you receive a notification and you have 24h set in android system, you should see 16:00 instead of 4:00 PM when a notification is triggered. You must enable "show time" from the toggle menu though.
[Android Apps and Games] Vampiro2000:
the app is better, but still no audio notification e my SGS....
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
i'm going to change the way audio notifications is made. given how "all other" works now, its even possible to make the users select which notification tone to play. i'll just have to invest sometime in it.

i'm thinking of putting 4.0.12b on the market now that i don't see any major complaints anymore. if you guys notice any quirks, please let me know :)
[Android Apps and Games] Vampiro2000:
We will "keep an eye" in your app! I'm glad to be an "beta tester" of this great app...

Thanks for you effort
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
Hey mad, keep up the good work. I think I'll upgrade to the latest beta version soon and try it out.

Btw, how was your holiday?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Thanks guys for helping out with all these betas. I appreciate that.

the holidays were awesome. spent Christmas with my girl's family in France, then did a mini euro trip together.. too bad I had to battle with a fever towards the end so the last few memories aren't the best, lol. but otherwise all is good ! ready for work and for NoLED now :)

my brother (an engadget podcast listener) notified me about a mobile podcast --i believe the date was 12/18, where they actually get to mention NoLED briefly around min 30. That was just exciting :) The user base on the Android market has doubled since I left for the holidays.. so yea, some great stuff to keep the motivation and all the work going :D
[Android Apps and Games] FL00DY:
madmack I did have a problem with .10 last night.

With All other ticked in "Toggle notifications" and the Others icon unticked in "Use Icons" I kept getting FC's. Just sent you a crash report.
[Android Apps and Games] Maverick750:
I apologize if this has been addressed in this thread already, but I would like to know if there is a way to use NoLED without the lock screen. In other words, when the lockscreen is disabled (either via *#7594# shutdownapp or an app like No Lock), NoLED ceases to function.

I guess NoLED depends on some type of lock screen in order to activate its notifications, and when it doesn't find one something fails. Is this just a fact of life, or is there something I can set somewhere so that I can use NoLED without having to have the "sweep glass to unlock" or lock pattern screen enabled?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Yea, i fixed that in .11 and .12 :) try them.

NoLED used to function without the need of a lock screen. You can grab one of the earlier versions from the archive on the website, i believe its version < 2.4. Unfortunately this had to be discontinued because it didn't provide a reliable way for NoLED to function. In other words, it was a headache programming all the race conditions which sometime didn't work. (think missed calls, sms messages where these two cause the screen to wake).

if i wake up one day feeling smarter, who knows.. might as well revert back to the good old way of not having any lock screen :) but so far i just had to abandon this method for a more robust and reliable one.
[Android Apps and Games] Maverick750:
Hey, no big deal... Obviously this isn't too much of an issue for the majority of the users of your app, because I haven't been able to find much reference to it anywhere. I love NoLED much more than I hate the lock screens. :)

Thanks a lot for answering my question so quickly, and for working so hard on such a great app - and keeping it FREE despite its popularity. You have done some great work, champ!
[Android Apps and Games] evilhunter101:
Madmack, I was finally able to get NoLED to generate a crash report for the force close when attempting to choose the monitored apps. I was able to reproduce the problem twice in a row and both generated crash reports. They should be in your email.
[Android Apps and Games] Nelimungous:
I also forwarded 2 crash reports that popped up after trying to select monitored apps. They would have been sent 10 JAN.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
i pinned one of the problems down which has to do with the way I sort the list of installed apps.

the other though:

I have no clue. I can't seem to trace it back to my app. I don't even know which line in my code is causing this nullpointerexception.

Edit: I reuploaded v4.1 on the OP. Please try that guys and lemme know if you still get FC errors when you click "monitored apps". This new version takes care of the sort problem (your list might not be sorted), but at least the FC shouldn't be there.
[Android Apps and Games] evilhunter101:
Had another FC, just sent it in. Beautiful Widgets seems to have crashed as well. Going to remove it and try again.

Edit: This is with the new version in the op by the way. Removing BW didn't help. Going to uninstall, reboot, and reinstall.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
the errors you sent me are identical to the one i posted previously which I can't seem to relate to any line in my code. can you ask you how many apps you have installed ?
[Android Apps and Games] evilhunter101:
This may take a while to count them all, be back in a sec with the answer.

Edit: It seems I have 112 not including system apps. Titanium backup tells me I have 130 user apps though.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
seems normal.

The error only happens when you click on "Monitored Apps" right ? Do you get a "Please wait..." before Monitored Apps becomes available ?

Anyways, please redownload 4.1 from OP (after uninstalling the current version) and let me know if this fixes it. It's really hard for me to debug something I can't replicate or make sense of from the logs.
[Android Apps and Games] evilhunter101:
Yup, only happens when monitored apps is selected and the please wait does show for quite a while before I'm allowed to select monitored apps.

I will try the new fix and I understand the difficulties with a problem like this, no worries.
[Android Apps and Games] evilhunter101:
Still FCing, not sure what else to try.
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
FC's when scolling to C's in Monitored Apps on 4.1

I'm trying to use 4.1 on my Samsung Mesmerize and getting Force Closes as well when I try to add Monitored Apps. I can open Monitored Apps and scroll down the list but every time I get the the "C's" it does a force close. I can not scroll and it won't crash or I can scroll slowly but as soon as I reach the "C's" it dies. I just sent a crash report in.
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
Ok, even more specifically it's when the "Checkin Service" displays in the list. I can scroll past Calculator, Calendar . . , Car Cradle, Certificate installer, but as soon as "Checking Service" shows fully on the screen it crashes. In fact I can scroll till I see "Checkin Service" and stop and it won't FC, but as soon as I try to scroll past it (to where I can see the line separating it from the next item on the list it FCs.
[Android Apps and Games] Picard0403:
Is it possible to have it active like a clock on nokia n8, maybe that flips also and can I make it greater ?

Thank you

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Android Apps and Games] aritafari:
Interestingly, I am able to scroll all the way to the bottom on my LG-P509.

The "Delay All Notifications" appears to have fixed the SMS Popup issue in 'Tasker'.

NoLED remains active on subsequent Popups, this was not the case previously (Outstanding).

Granted I haven't enabled all functions since I only need a few. But try as I may, I haven't been able to 'break' NoLED.

Kudos Madmack.

Knowing how busy you must be, I sincerely appreciate your timely responses.
[Android Apps and Games] piasekas:
Thanks, clear now ;)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
that's what i call precision ! :cool:

seems the little custom check list preference is causing all kind of trouble for some devices. I'm moving away from this, i'll implement a nice new screen that has a list of all installed apps that you're able to place a check next to. this will use default android GUI elements so hopefully it won't cause any crashes on some devices.
[Android Apps and Games] Nelimungous:
Maybe a dumb question: would it be possible to only pull apps into the list that have notification options? That may be too deep.
[Android Apps and Games] FL00DY:
Will do :) Thanks. Market seems to broken for me at the moment :(

Will download from OP.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
its impossible to do that because there isn't a way for me to poll which apps use the notification bar and which don't :(
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
ok .. i've worked on a new more elaborate way of showing a list of sorted installed apps.

i'm attaching a new beta, please try it and let me know if the FCs are still there.
[Android Apps and Games] evilhunter101:
Locked up my phone then exited NoLED with no FC or error message at all the first two times I tried it. Restarted phone and now works. Just have to get a notification to test it now. No reason to believe it won't work.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
awesome .. that revision will definitely make it to the market soon given the barrage of crash reports I've been receiving lately, lol.
[Android Apps and Games] evilhunter101:
Just tested it with Handcent enabled under "new Monitored Apps" and it doesn't work. I have the option ticked to use icons. I have verified NoLED is enabled in the Accessibility options, and the icons for the various apps do work when I use the test function. Also, is "Monitored Apps" still supposed to be there? I have that one and the new one. The old one never gets out of the "Please wait..." stage. I was wondering if maybe the app is still waiting for selections from the old selector instead of accepting those from the new version.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Yea old "Monitored Apps" is supposed to be there but its non functional. That is normal. What's not normal, is not getting the various icons when you click "Test".
[Android Apps and Games] Taomyn:
The new version, 4.1, seems to run pretty well for me so far. Only things I've noticed and I think some have already been mentioned:

Application list issues which you seem to be on the way to fixing

Settings page for off and on times have poor time formatting i.e. mine says "at0:0" and "at8:0" for "at 0:00" and "at 08:00"

App icons on my SGS appear about half the size of the corresponding themed icons so it can look a bit odd (option set to smallest). Wondering if there could be an option to use the app icon for all alerts and none from the theme.

I also noticed with previous versions, as not had enough time with this new one, that if the app/service FCs during the "off" time-period, when it restarts it ignores this and starts displaying. I see this mainly in the morning as it should be off until 08:00 but sometimes I'll be up around 6/7 and see the icons whizzing about.

Seems to pop up with Skype having two alerts randomly through the day even though all it's doing is showing its notification icon. Most likely a Skype app issue, but mentioning it for reference

In the app list, Plume twitter client appears, I assume because it has a "premium" stub application. Might be an idea for the app list to somehow have the ability to show more information for each app, so you don't have to guess which one to choose. Maybe touch and hold to bring up more info.

Lastly, and I wasn't sure how to search for this in the thread to see if it's been covered before, but it's the most annoying issue for me. If I'm listening to a podcast in Doggcatcher and an alert comes in, NoLED prevents the button on my headset from working (the set that came with the phone) until I clear it. I also have the proximity sensor options enabled, in case that makes a difference.

Thanks again for a great app.
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
My wife and I use the Kik messenger application and both of us installed 4.1.1 and are getting other notifications (SMS, Calendar and Email so far) but none from Kik.

We have "All Other" checked

NoLED is enabled in the Accessability settings

The Kik application is checked in the "new Monitored Apps" screen

Both of us are using Samsung Mesmerize's (2.1 standard Firmware)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Thanks for spending the time to give us your feedback. Your feedback for the on/off timer bugs are specially helpful. I'll add these points to my todo list.

No FCs ?

When you click on Test, do you see KiK's icon floating around ?

I've tested this app both on my device and in the emulator and it seems to work just fine. I have no idea why this is not consistent across all devices. anyways, i'm putting up a new beta that adds more exception handling.. should be less likely to FC now when clicking the Monitored Apps screen. get it at OP
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
No FC's at all And yes, Kik's icon shows up when I click test. Interesting. I've done a restart but I'll try another. I get the vibration when a Kik Notification comes in but no update to the screen but incoming notifications trigger a NoLED notification just fine.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Does KiK update the notification bar ? this could mean 1) either KiK doesn't actually update the notification bar. or 2) that KiK uses another process to update the status bar.

I'm too lazy to install KiK, (create an account.. etc) just to get this figured out, lol
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
Hoorary! 4.1.2b worked for Kik on my device. I installed it over the other version so my settings didn't change, did a power-off reboot and it worked. Awesome!

I do like the way it displays the application icon (Kik in this case) and second the idea that it wouldn't be bad to show the notification applications native icon (without using a theme) as an option.

Overall that's no big deal though; functionality is number one for me and it's looking good! I had to use all-other before (v 4.0.4) and got lots of false notifications from the music player and tasker and things like that so this is a big bump for me. Thanks for all the hard work madmack!
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
Yes, it does update the notification bar so it must use the same process; I think you can get by without creating an account since it appears to be working now! :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Sooweeeeet :D

i think i'll push that to the market asap to stop this onslaught of crash reports that I've been receiving since the last market push. lol
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
It has seemed to close when I've been looking at the settings and change orientation (landscape to portrait etc.) so maybe there are a couple other bugs out there but it does give me the FC prompt so I can't send a report of that in; maybe those are related to the other user's issues. Either way, like I said if the functionality is solid once it's setup; I'm happy!
[Android Apps and Games] ragin:
Hi madmack. I really LOVE your NoLED. But how difficult is it to have battery level too?

Just numbers, 74, 31, 98 whatever. Just the present battery level.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
It shouldn't be that difficult. At least to implement it to show the notification screen during charging, or when phone is fully charged only.. believe me I got it on my todo list, its just that my priorities have shifted slightly.

I need a dedicated Nexus S tester who's willing to try a bunch of debugging apks to nail down that "touching the screen causes FC" problem.

Let me know !
[Android Apps and Games] ragin:
Thank you for considering this request. What with the dubious battery record of my SGS, I just thought, what if a look at my flashing screen should tell me whether to insert its ****. :D:D:D
[Android Apps and Games] tophernuts:
Thanks for such a great app, prefect replacement to an actual led!
[Android Apps and Games] Taomyn:
Is it normal that you have to disable/enable with the widget to stop it monitoring a disabled application?

I had definitely disabled the app but it continued to pop up until I restarted NoLED.

Standard email app not notifying me.

I've been using Noled for couple of months and it works for missed calls, messages and notification from Gmail. I recently enabled the stock email app with another email account and I get no notification from it. I do see a notification icon and on the pull down screen. I looked at the FAQ's and a quick run through the thread and didn't find anything. Could have missed it though. So my question, why isn't it working?

I am running stock 2.1 JH7. Unrooted. No widgets except Beautiful widget. All options in Noled are checked as well as the accessibility option.

I'm not sure what to check or do next to make it work.
[Android Apps and Games] MaXie1:
I get the same problem with stock email app too. No notifications, but used to work as "other" in the old version ( 4.0.4 i believe )
[Android Apps and Games] sophistical:
@MaXie1 and @KMan94

Try going to Monitored Apps and checking "Email" in there; I bet that would do it. (I only use the Gmail app so can't verify it)
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Yea, I believe ticking "Email" under monitored apps would do it. I'm not entirely sure, but I believe someone said he got it working with that.

Anyways, I'm done with implementing another feature. Charging indicator ! yep. you can also choose the colors for that one.

anyways, i'm putting it up on the OP as a beta. I've also fixed Nexus S ANR FC issues when touching the screen. I've verified it with a kind beta tester.

Please test that new feature out, lemme know if you notice any problems.

Oh, you'll need to enable NoLED from the widget first, then put your phone to charge. When the screen turns off, it should display that indicator.

Nero V4

I'm using that new Galaxy Tab email app and was able to set up my yahoo account by switching the AccountandSyncSettings.apk from Nero V1 to V3 which I am on right now. NoLed cannot see my yahoo account, however. Why?:)
[Android Apps and Games] pubedeoro2002:
Hi, sorry but my English is terrible...

In the Changelog is writen:

•Disables backlight of physical keys / keyboard when a notification is displayed. (not working with Nexus S)

In the my HTC Desire the backlight is enabled when notification is displayed.

I tried different versions but the problem persists.

is a bug ??? is possible to resolving this problem?
[Android Apps and Games] DarrenCarnall:
I've only just realised that there's been updates that allow for you to choose which apps give you notifications.... and that they notify you individually as opposed to a generic 'all other' icon. This is incredible!

Having a Tweetdeck icon on my screen, or an eBuddy icon pop up when i have a message... is GREAT!

Excellent work madmack... this is easily my favourite/most used/most NEEDED app on my Galaxy S. Totally love it. Well done!
